Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Lena, LA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lena offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
